GREENVILLE, N.C. -- Markel Humphrey had 24 points and eight rebounds and Marshall never trailed in a 76-62 victory over East Carolina on Wednesday night.

The closest the Pirates (13-14, 5-9) could get was eight points at 40-32 with 18:03 left.
Because Marshall also defeated East Carolina 72-64 on Jan. 10, the sweep gives the Thundering Herd the league tiebreaker over the Pirates, who have lost three games in a row and four of five.
